[Networker] Blocksize, LTO4 tapes, Networker 7.4, Sun/Sparc Solaris 9
2008-08-08 16:55:54
I'm running Networker 7.4 on a Sun/Sparc Solaris 9 server, with a
SpectraLogic T50 jukebox, two LTO4 drives.
I want to verify what blocksize Networker is actually writing to the drives
- I believe it's 64kb. These drives are much more efficient at 512kb.
I manually set the drives to 512kb, but (admittedly only one try) they
couldn't read a previously written to tape.
If I want to change to 512kb blocksize, will I have to relabel all the
tapes?
Also, I believe I read somewhere that Networker always writes the labels at
64kb and the backup data at something else.
Just beginning this investigation, and am looking to skirt red herrings.
Thanks.
